Environmental law has developed a complex set of criminal standards that apply to regulatory violations and damages to natural resources, and energy law is beginning to see an evolution of specialized criminal concepts during this “energy transition.” For example, utility companies may face criminal prosecution for negligent efforts to prevent forest wildfires, accidental takings of migratory birds or protected wildlife, and criminal prosecution for injuries or death caused by malfunctioning energy infrastructure such as pipeline explosions or wellhead releases. After discussion of the history and convergence of environmental and energy criminal law, this presentation provides examples of situations giving rise to potential criminal liability associated with the generation and transmission of energy. The presenter also provides practical approaches to manage potential liability before it arises and appropriate responses when crimes are alleged.
